Bowling Green police said in a statement posted to Facebook that Parker Bennett Curry Elementary School officials contacted them after receiving information about a woman selling her child. Officers eventually spoke with Maria Domingo-Perez, 31, who allegedly gave them conflicting statements before admitting she sold her baby to a man and woman.

The couple, Catarina Jose Felipe, 37, and Jose Manuel Pascual, 45, were also arrested after reportedly confessing to buying Domingo-Perez’s baby for $2,000.
